AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

Australians all let us rejoice,

For we are young and free;

We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;

Our home is girt by sea;

Our land abounds in nature’s gifts

Of beauty rich and rare;

In history’s page, let every stage

Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross

We’ll toil with hearts and hands;

To make this Commonwealth of ours

Renowned of all the lands;

For those who’ve come across the seas

We’ve boundless plains to share;

With courage let us all combine

To Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.

7/08/14   Photo a Day   Spot

This spot is where I went to Primary School in the 1950's , they were very happy days and I had lots of friends.Unfortunately when my parents went their separate ways and we moved to Griffith I lost touch with them but they are often in my thoughts.

Back in the 1950's boys and girls were segregated after Infants and there was different school buildings and playgrounds, I am not sure what the reasoning was behind this.

6/08/14  Photo a Day   Grateful for

I am grateful that Millie is once again healthy and back to her normal self.After a dash to the Vet's on Monday and a couple of injections she is now acting and I presume feeling better. Would you believe she had tonsillitis and Dr Tom said she was his  fourth canine patient with that in a week.
